¹[Fahavalo: ny valala] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Mankanesa ao amin'i Farao; fa Izaho efa nanamafy ny fony sy ny fon'ny mpanompony, mba hanehoako izao famantarako izao eo aminy;

¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,

²ary mba holazainao ho ren'ny zanakao sy ny zafinao izay zavatra nataoko teto Egypta sy izay famantarana nataoko teo aminy, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah.

²and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son`s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

³Ary Mosesy sy Arona dia nankao amin'i Farao ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo: Mandrapahoviana no handavanao tsy hanetry tena eo anatrehako? alefaso ny oloko mba hanompo Ahy.

³And Moses cometh in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,

⁴Fa raha mandà ka tsy mandefa ny oloko ianao, indro, hahatonga valala amin'ny taninao rehetra Aho rahampitso;

⁴for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,

⁵dia handrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka tsy ho hita ny tany; dia hohaniny ny sisan'ny havandra, izay navela ho anareo, ka hohaniny avokoa ny hazo rehetra izay maniry ho anareo any an-tsaha;

⁵and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;

⁶dia hameno ny tranonao sy ny tranon'ny mpanomponao rehetra ary ny tranon'ny Egyptiana rehetra ireny; ary tsy mbola hitan'ny rainao na ny raibenao izay toy izay hatr'izay andro niainany tetỳ ambonin'ny tany ka mandraka androany. Dia nihodina izy ka niala teo amin'i Farao.

⁶and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father`s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,` — and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.

⁷Ary hoy ny mpanompon'i Farao taminy: Mandra-pahoviana no ho fandrika amintsika iny lehilahy iny? alefaso ireo olona ireo hanompo an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny; tsy mbola fantatrao va fa efa simba Egypta?

⁷And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?`

⁸Dia nisy nampiverina an'i Mosesy sy Arona hankao amin'i Farao indray: ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana, manompo an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; nefa iza avy moa no handeha?

⁸And Moses is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?`

⁹Ary hoy Mosesy: Ny tanora sy ny antitra aminay ho entinay handeha, ary ny zanakai-lahy sy ny zanakai-vavy sy ny ondry aman'osinay ary ny ombinay ho entinay handeha; fa hisy andro firavoravoanay ho an'i Jehovah.

⁹And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.`

¹⁰Fa hoy Farao taminy: Aoka homba anareo ihany anie Jehovah, raha handefa anareo mbamin'ny zanakareo madinika aho; mitandrema, fa misy ratsy eo anoloanareo.

¹⁰And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see — for evil [is] before your faces;

¹¹Tsy izany, fa mandehana ianareo lehilahy lehibe ka manompoa an'i Jehovah, fa izany no tadiavinareo. Ary izy roa lahy dia noroahina hiala teo anatrehan'i Farao.

¹¹not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;` and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.

¹²Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ahinjiro ambonin'ny tany Egypta ny tananao hihavian'ny valala, dia hiakatra ho eto amin'ny tany Egypta ireny, ary dia hihinana ny zava-maniry amin'ny tany, dia izay rehetra sisan'ny havandra.

¹²And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.`

¹³Dia nahinjitr'i Mosesy tambonin'ny tany Egypta ny tehiny, ary Jehovah nitondra rivotra avy any atsinanana hankany amin'ny tany mandritra iny andro sy iny alina iny; ary nony maraina dia nitondra ny valala ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.

¹³And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.

¹⁴Ary ny valala niakatra ho amin'ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nipetraka nanerana ny tany Egypta rehetra; ary nampahory indrindra ireny, ka tsy nisy valala toy izany tany aloha, ary ato aoriany koa tsy hisy toy izany.

¹⁴And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt — very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;

¹⁵Fa nandrakotra ny tany rehetra ireny, ka efa maizina ny tany; ary nohaniny ny anana rehetra teo amin'ny tany sy ny voankazo rehetra, izay sisan'ny havandra; ka dia tsy nisy sisa ny zava-maitso eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra, na tamin'ny hazo, na tamin'ny anana tany an-tsaha.

¹⁵and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.`

¹⁶Ary Farao dia nampaka an'i Mosesy sy Arona faingana ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota tamin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy taminareo aho.

¹⁶And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, `I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you,

¹⁷Ary ankehitriny, masìna ianao mamela ny fahotako izao indray mandeha izao ihany, ka mangataha amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hampialany amiko izao mahafaty iray loha izao monja.

¹⁷and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.`

¹⁸Dia niala teo amin'i Farao izy ka nangataka tamin'i Jehovah.

¹⁸And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,

¹⁹Ary Jehovah nahatonga rivotra mahery indrindra avy andrefana kosa, izay nitondra ny valala ka namarina azy tao amin'ny Ranomasina Mena; dia tsy nisy sisa intsony ny valala eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra, na dia iray akory aza.

¹⁹and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea — there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;

²⁰Nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon'i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak'Isiraely izy.

²⁰and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.

²¹[Fahasivy: ny aizim-pito] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ahinjiro manandrify ny lanitra ny tananao, mba hisy aizina amin'ny tany Egypta, dia aizina azo tsapaina.

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.`

²²Dia nahinjitr'i Mosesy nanandrify ny lanitra ny tànany; dia nisy aizim-pito eran'ny tany Egypta rehetra hateloana,

²²And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;

²³koa tsy mba nifankahita ny olona, na niala tamin'izay nitoerany, hateloana; fa ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra kosa nisy mazava teo amin'ny fonenany.

²³they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.`

²⁴Ary Farao dia nampaka an'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana ianareo, manompoa an'i Jehovah; fa ny ondry aman'osinareo sy ny ombinareo ihany no aoka havelanareo; ary ny zanakareo madinika dia aoka hiaraka aminareo koa.

²⁴And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, `Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;`

²⁵Ary hoy Mosesy: Hianao no hanolotra eto an-tananay izay fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà haterinay ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitray;

²⁵and Moses saith, `Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God;

²⁶ary ny omby aman'ondrinay dia ho entinay hiaraka aminay koa; fa tsy hisy havela na dia ny kitrony iray aza, satria ireny no hangalanay hanompoana an'i Jehovah Andriamanitray; ary tsy mbola fantatray izay ho entinay manompo an'i Jehovah mandra-pahatonganay any.

²⁶and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we — we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.`

²⁷Ary Jehovah dia nanamafy ny fon'i Farao, ka tsy nety nandefa azy izy.

²⁷And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;

²⁸Ary hoy Farao taminy: Mialà amiko; koa mitandrema, fa aoka tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianao; fa amin'izay andro hahitanao ny tavako dia ho faty ianao.Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.

²⁸and Pharaoh saith to him, `Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;`

²⁹Ary hoy Mosesy: Marina izay nolazainao; fa tsy hahita ny tavanao intsony aho.

²⁹and Moses saith, `Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.`
